One game, no points. Thank goodness you're not the coach how many minutes may I ask? I thought only horses wore blinders Nesmith played 11 minutes. White has been bad, but they play different positions. I'd like to move on now, and wait for tomorrow's game. Maybe Nesmith will play, do really well, and I'll admit you were right. Maybe White will have a game more like normal.........and I'll probably hear nothing.

Okay guys, I'm done here.
Jayson Tatum was 3-14 from the floor, 1-7 from 3, 6 turnovers, and got abused on defense multiple times, but, hey, let's blame Derrick White for the loss. 24 turnovers as a team, zero of which belonged to White. But, hey, he's had a couple of bad shooting nights in a row, and, even though he didn't start, and didn't come in until we were down 20, let's put the loss on him and play Aaron Nesmith instead.
That's what I'm hearing, and, quite frankly, it's grating on my nerves.

That's what I'm hearing, and, quite frankly, it's grating on my nerves. A guard who is being routinely left wide open that gives you 0 points 1 assist and 2 rebounds in 14 minutes is a BIG part of why you lose by 6 points. Tatum has been quadrupled for 18 games straight at least(Slight exaggeration lol). He's a little worn out and needs guys like White to pull more weight on occasions like this. If White can just manage 8 points for his 15 mil a season we would have won. Is that too much to ask?

Not Bird? Magic? Shaq? Jordan? Curry? Lebron? Kobe? Dominique? Malone? Barkley? Kareem? Olajuwan?
Just Jaylen Brown? Against a good defense in the finals?
Let's trade him for Bradley Beal! LOL

Marcus got 16 points. And he left the game hurt and makes less money! About 1.5 mil less than White.

While I will agree with that, for the most part and I have acknowledged he was bad last night, he was not out there at the beginning of the game, when NO ONE could hit anything, everyone was lackadaisical, and we got down by 20. YES, I agree he should have given us more, I've said that a bunch of times, but to pin the loss solely on him because you don't like the trade, or you don't like his salary............that's just wrong!

I saw something last night that I think Udoka needs to add to the playbook. Post up Smart against Lowery. Another adjustment is on the pick and roll Theis or who ever needs to step up on the player rolling to the basket. Bout time their picked up it’s a wide open jumper or floater in the lane that started out near the three point line.

StatMuse: Jayson Tatum has been guarded by PJ Tucker for 127 possessions this season (regular season and playoffs). He has scored 15 points in those 127 possessions. pic.twitter.com/iiM6G8mRyC – via Twitter statmuse Jayson Tatum, PJ Tucker, Boston Celtics, Miami Hea That is truly not good...ouch...guess I am going to sell my house and bet it on the Heat...

Judging from the plays as of this series, PP, Neismith in that order. One game, no points. Thank goodness you're not the coach Once again, you miss the point...btw, thanks for your posts and other content you post on the board...but, if Coach had played Nesmith more in the regular season, maybe, just maybe, we would have a dynamic, energetic defender with some experience and ability to step in and score for us...Ime has played a short bench all year and yes I am pissed off about it...and now Jaylen (one of the higher up muckety mucks in the players union) talks of fatigue!...get it?...

Well I think the white trade was stupid to begin with. So not a lot of choice esp with Smart hurt. That's my issue. Did the guy really just forget how to score? My biggest gripe is the pick. They got the haul of a proven 2 way player. More PP for now I guess. Ok, that makes sense. I'll watch both next games, on both ends. If White has another stink bomb, I'll change my view. But I can't see that happening. I would also say that without the White trade we might not make the playoffs. IMO. Agree...I very much like the White trade..

Because defense is more important? Smart has been very good on offense. White has been bad these past three games, but it's not his fault we lost the last game. Tatum was terrible, and WE had 24 turnovers. Now, I'm really okay with PP playing 20 + minutes if that's what the Coach decides. However, many on here are saying we should play Nesmith over White, and that I don't agree with. A rotation of Smart, Brown, White and PP is fine with me. 192 minutes there. But Nesmith should not play over White, they don't even play the same position. And, I'll bet you PP is not out there over White at the end of a close game. The Heat will let Smart and White shoot any time they want to shoot, they'll beg them to shoot! Tatum has started waving them off when they try to set a pick for him, because their man will double team Tatum and leave Smart or White wide open! Pritchard makes it easier on Tatum and Brown, because his man won't leave him to double team! And why exactly can our brilliant coach not see this exactly?...

Trust that the defender doesn’t need help. Or at least know who to help off of.

I understand you're pissed about it. But isn't it kind of late to be bringing this up? Nesmith received multiple chances this year......multiple. He played in 52 games, and started a few as well. He obviously didn't prove himself enough to get minutes. Why do you think we traded for White in the first place? Because Nesmith and Langford couldn't be consistent and stay on the floor. I'm hardly missing any point, and this is the second time you've said it. I understand your point perfectly. I disagree with it.

All i have been saying is that Coach should have played Nesmith so he could be available to contribute...

Still think Coach is wrong, and I will be here to remind you of that when Nesmith torches us in the future...
